B00STDZ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Pros and cons for all three. I take it that the vintage air system and zirgo both run off electric compressors. Stock runs off a pulley driven compressor. Seems like the zirgo one is a great deal more expensive than vintage air ($1,200 for zirgo).

If you search for Vintage Air you can find detailed information about installing these units. I installed one in my car, and although I'm using a V8 much of the installation process is the same regardless of what motor you use.

B00STDZ Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Could you run an electric AC compresser with the vintage air system and zirgo? Where could I find an electric A/C compressor? Heres the Zirgo A/c System... http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/zirgo/details.lasso?itemid=ZFTAAACK2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Stock sucks. Vintage Air (GEN III) is a very nice unit. I see nothing in that Virgo assembly to justify such a price tag. It appears to operate solely on vacuum pots which is a far cry from the servos that Vintage offers. Also. That is a very large unit which you'd be hard pressed to fit into the minimal space a S30 offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I am running Vintage Air in my LT1 280Z using a stock GM compressor. It works great and was pretty easy to install. The only down side I see is the high speed fan is mighty noisey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregkring Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I beleive some toyota hybrids have electric a/c compressors. And a 280 volt battery to power it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Deja, try placing some Dynamat on the housing. I did this on my home's ac/heat gaspack outside with very small pieces. It cut the noise transmitted into the house dramatically. I'll be doing this on my GEN III when it is installed in my Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00STDZ Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 There is no electric A/C compressor that can be powered by a standered battery/alternator? Are the ones on the hybrids the only electric compressors available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
